The presidency of William Randolph Hearst has proved divisive within his party, with the President's choice of Liberal Anti-Prohibitionist John Nance Garner as Vice President, intervention in Mexico, and refusal to let go of his property in media and mining damaging his reputation among the party's left and anti-imperialists. Yet, Hearst's ability to seemingly resurrect the party after a string of landslide defeats and his success in lowering tariffs and repealing prohibition have kept him popular with much of the party's rank-and-file.
William Randolph Hearst: 45 year old incumbent President William Randolph Hearst of New York carried the Farmer-Labor Party to the White House after twelve years of Federal Republican presidencies upon a tidal wave of anti-prohibitionist sentiment. Only weeks before the beginning of the primaries, Hearst found his crowning success with the ratification of the 19th Amendment and the end of alcohol prohibition. Yet, Hearst's attempts to place public utilities under municipal ownership, contrary to the traditional Farmer-Labor support for nationalization, have proved thoroughly unsuccessful. Meanwhile, Hearst authorized an invasion of Mexico to reinstall former President Porfirio Diaz following the seizure of Hearst's property by the Mexican Imperial Government amidst a peasants' revolt. Hearst focuses upon the repeal of prohibition and argues that only he can appeal to voters and hold the presidency for Farmer-Labor, while defending his interventionist foreign policy and arguing that municipal ownership constitutes just compensation for workers.

Thomas E. Watson: That the diverse assortment of opposition to President Hearst within his party might unite around a single candidate was ridiculed as preposterous by Hearst papers, yet 52 year old Georgia Senator Thomas E. Watson's fourth campaign for the presidency seems to have done just that. Watson first rose to national prominence in the 1880s as the voi

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
